Dog anxiety, whether it’s “separation anxiety” or general “skittishness”, will likely put your dog in a dangerous situation sooner or later. Lightning, fireworks or large crowds may cause him to bolt into traffic.
If they suffer from separation anxiety when you’re away, their behavior may cause physical problems from ingested buttons torn from clothes, swallowed shoelaces or perhaps even jagged pieces of a chewed CD.
And you’ll find it hard to like them when you come home and find the house torn apart.

Help is available. I don’t recommend medicating your dog. There are more benign ways of calming dog anxiety, and they don’t come with unintended side effects.
You’ll find any dog anxiety treatment (conventional or alternative) far more effective if you combine it with some behavior modification.
If you know why your dog is acting out, the how of dealing with it becomes far easier.

Learn how dogs think in the information below.

Dog Appeasing Pheromones
Dog appeasing pheromones (also known as DAP) are a new way to calm your dog. Based on the sense of smell, dog pheromones are used instead of aromatherapy essences to calm your dog.
Whether you combine behavior training with relief from a homeopathic remedy, aromatherapy or DAP, I recommend you add in some calming music produced especially for pets.

This relaxing music will help calm your dog’s anxiety. It will also hide outside noises that might trigger barking or destructive behaviors during your absence.
